| | | Abe warns of delay in key labour reforms | | | Shinzo Abe has sought to damp expectations for a speedy liberalisation of Japan's labour market, pointing to strong domestic opposition to the "sensitive" but potentially crucial plank in his structural reform programme.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Abe said he was determined to build on the early successes of his "Abenomics" revitalisation campaign by pressing ahead with deregulation.
